CSS - Making content margins work for me

[spdorsey]

Hello.

I'm building a page that should fill the width of my browser window, with 3
pixels of space at the top, left, and right.

If I use a simple:

body {
margin: 3px;
}

#container {
width: 100%;
background-color: #99CC00;
}

All browsers put more than 3 pixels at the top of the page.

No, they don't.

But try this -

body { margin:3px; padding:0; }
